Hayley G. Boling Hello Enthusiastic PBS Michiana Viewer-Members,
Treasurer
William J. Schmuhl, Jr. The holidays must just be around the corner. I was shopping for a Get Well card and saw Christmas
Immediate Past Chair cards on display! I actually bought one, they had a very cute “from the dog” card I plan to give to my
Susan Ohmer, Ph.D. wife (on behalf of our dog). I didn’t find one, so far, “from the cat.”. The holidays are certainly upon us.
I will enjoy seeing my neighborhood kids in Halloween costumes; I’m generous with the treats because
Directors so few come to our door, and I’m on a diet. Now, we’re off running toward Thanksgiving, Hanukkah,
Jim Arnold Christmas, New Year’s, and Super Bowl Sunday.

On the
Cover
Vibrant Light: Stained Glass of the Basilica at Notre Dame
Over 100,000 visitors each year make their way to the Basilica of
the Sacred Heart. Located on the campus of the University of Notre
Dame, the Basilica is a reflection of faith and reverence. Forty-
four stained glass windows offer beauty and story and are home to
one of the world’s largest collection of 19th-century French-style
stained glass outside of France. The story explores the significance
of stained glass through religion, cultural impact, art, design, history
and craftsmanship. We’ll see the birth of Notre Dame and the art of
illuminating stories through powerful images.
